64 Planets

Procedurally generated spacecraft in Xeno

El Pocko — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 13:35:59 +0000

Xeno generates most of its visual content at runtime. It does not only create planets, stars and nebulae; it will also be able to procedurally generate animated and visually pleasing spaceship sprites. Here are some examples:

The Xeno universe will include billions of unique space ship sprites like these.

A random selection of generated ships. Some of these are broken, a minor bug that still needs to be fixed.

The technique has been optimized for smaller sprites. Some boss enemies may have larger sprites, like this one:

All these ships were generated at runtime, by using a number of textures and a set of template rules that roughly describe the shape of a spaceship. By mutating the templates, an infinite number of shapes can be generated.

The required rule files, textures and the generator code are less than 250 KB in size combined, yet they create gigabytes of sprite data.

New Xeno screenshots

El Pocko — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:59:58 +0000

A couple new screenshots of Xeno have been posted on our Facebook page.

They’re 640×480 pixels, but we have plans to allow the game to be played at resolutions of up to 1920×1080 pixels.
Due to the inherent slowness of Flash software rendering you’ll need a rather powerful machine to run it at a decent framerate at this size and with full details.

Welcome, Redditors!

Still alive

We’re still alive and busy working on new game projects and ideas.

Here are a couple of screenshots showing the development of an upcoming Flash game (Project title “Xeno”). It features a very large procedurally generated universe and procedurally generated spacecraft.

Screenshots #1 and #2 are taken from a very early prototype of our procedural planet generator.

Screenshot #3

A procedural solar system.

Screenshot #4

A collage of procedurally generated planets. In this stage of development, the planet generator has been optimized to create many variations of small planet-like objects.

Further development of the game’s concept and more advanced generator code yields big, colorful and diversified planets in a nice space-themed atmosphere. This is the current state of development.
